Schedule It and Vanguard CAT Claims Services Announce Strategic Partnership

October 4, 2018 by

Elizabethtown, KY, October 4, 2018- Schedule It, LLC, the leader in insurance property claims inspection scheduling, and Vanguard Cat Claims Services (Vanguard), a premier catastrophic claims handling service, announced their strategic partnership to streamline claims inspection scheduling, promote greater visibility in the claims adjusting process, and provide the best overall customer experience.

Using Schedule It’s automated and structured Schedule It Pro™ product, with immediate contact capabilities, Schedule It and Vanguard will be working together to eliminate time-consuming calls between insurance carriers, IA firms, adjusters and insureds about claim status, ensuring worry-free claims handling for insurance carriers and their insureds with improved customer satisfaction and loyalty.

“Providing Schedule It’s innovative Schedule It Pro solution as a tool for our adjuster team will not only help our adjusters work smarter and more efficiently, it will also strengthen our ability to meet, and ultimately exceed, the level of customer service standards that have become synonymous with the Vanguard name,” says Robert Gilliam, Vanguard President. “Schedule It’s custom reports provide key insights into our claims data that help us run the business more efficiently and effectively than we ever have before, helping us to continue the nationwide expansion of our catastrophic claims service module.”

According to a recent 2017 report by Bain and Company on Customer Behavior and Loyalty in Insurance, just half of all insurance customers have had any contact with their insurers for any reason in the past 12 months. It’s a low-touch industry, but when claims are filed insureds expect a high-touch personalized service. Schedule It makes a difference when customer loyalty matters the most, during these infrequent but often distressing times, by streamlining the whole property inspection process, providing immediate response to insureds, facilitating insured’s receiving claim payments sooner and closing claims faster.

“The beginning of a storm event is the most stressful for field adjusters. We stop the chaos with the Schedule It Pro software that maps, routes, and even schedules part of your claims for you with the homeowner. It is like having another field adjuster working with you”, says Rebecca Wheeling, CEO of Schedule It. “Vanguard saw the benefit right away because of data they have now that wasn’t available to them previously. Instead of managing based on historical data they have access to real time data to help make faster and wiser decisions. Partnering with Vanguard means helping more families get back to their version of normal faster and that’s why we do what we do.”
